What is the best way to stop myself from calling my ex whenever I'm lonely?

Go out with some friends, leave your phone at home maybe, enjoy life and do something to take your mind off of it! I know how hard it is to stop contact with an ex, it's not easy, but everything happens for a reason. If you really feel like you need some closure maybe then contact him/her, but if not then just let things play out

One way to make sure that you don't call him is to call someone else instead like a friend or a parent. You can even tell them why you called "I really wanted to call [insert name], but I called you instead, I really miss him." I am sure that they will be happy that you called them instead, and will be there to help you talk through your feelings.

when ever you think about calling your ex, take you phone and instead of calling her listen to some cool music..Fresh up your mind and engage yourself with your fav things.

It's hard, especially when you're feeling lonely. But it is never a good idea to contact your ex, you'll only end up missing him/her more and you will hurt yourself by doing so. Instead try to take your mind of it. I'd advise you to focus on yourself and your own hobby and interests. Also important is to lean on your friends and family during a break-up, so you can contact them instead. Moving on is hard and can take a while. There is no right way to do it, everyone is different. Just give yourself time to heal and it will be okay. And after that, you won't feel the need to cantact him/her anymore. And remember – baby-steps and one day at a time. Good luck! x

Get a different friend to call instead. If you have something else to go to, or something else to do, you won't have the need to call them. If you're lonely, a friend can fill that empty space or even just keeping busy can focus you from not calling them. Good luck!

The best way to stop yourself from calling your ex: Walk away from your phone or switch it off. Remind yourself why they are your ex and not your current. Getting over a breakup can be tough but it isn't impossible.

Call a friend or family member that you can talk to when you're lonely who will distract you from your ex!

The best way to stop yourself from doing 'what you know you shouldn't be doing' is by distracting yourself from that train of thought. It goes something like this: The more time you idle alone, the more you end up brooding over the past. The more you brood on your ex, the more chances you'll make that call. So a way to stop this from occurring is to consciously deny you time to let your mind loiter. If you're jam packed, you don't get free time to brood. If you're dead tired, you don't have the energy to think about the past. Is this the solution? No . It is a way to cheat yourself and yes it works.

Well, look back on why you guys break up. If it's a really bad break up know it's for a reason, try not to call him, instead try to move on

find some good freinds who can support you or keep you company when you feel lonely
